[Verse 1]
A Asus4 A Asus4
I climb up, spending daylight
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
Slide down, bankrupt on the other side
A Asus4 A Asus4
Some sweet girl, playing my wife
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
Runs off with a boy whose bike she'll ride
[Chorus]
F Bb F Bb
Playground, it's a playground
F Bb G C
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
F Bb F Bb
In the playground, every day ground
F Bb F Bb A Asus4
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
[Verse 2]
A Asus4 A Asus4
Bells will ring, door flies open
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
Hare and Greyhound in the old kiss chase
A Asus4 A Asus4
You've been caught, game is ended
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
Smack on kisser from her slap on face
[Chorus]
F Bb F Bb
Playground, it's a playground
F Bb G C
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
F Bb F Bb
In the playground, every day ground
F Bb F Bb A Asus4
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
[Bridge]
D#m G# C#m7
Watch the leaves all tear away, one by one
F# D#m
Leaving you but lined like an exercise book
G# C#m7
What did your report once say? Know the one
F#7sus4 F#7 F#m7 F#7
This boy must try harder to please
E7sus4 E7 Em7 E7
From down on his knees
[Verse 3]
A Asus4 A Asus4
Playground, playground, careful what you say ground
A Asus4 A Asus4
Playground, playground, gonna make you pay ground
A Asus4 A Asus4
Brain gets bent, heart gets broken
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
You can't jump off once the pages turn
A Asus4 A Asus4
School is out but never over
F# B A Asus4 A Asus4
That's the only lesson you can learn
[Chorus]
F Bb F Bb
Playground, it's a playground
F Bb G C
Marked by the masters and bruised by the bullies
F Bb F Bb
In the playground, every day ground
F Bb F Bb
Never stop rehearsing, rehearsing for the big square world
F Bb F Bb
Playground, it's a playground
F Bb G C
You're for the high jump, if you let 'em push you
F Bb F Bb
In the playground, every day ground
F Bb F Bb E Esus4
There's no escaping, escaping from their big square world
E Esus4 E Esus4
You may leave school but it never leaves you
